Good morning!!!!

RNG, the rain came with a price, 4 large house fires from lightning in the surrounding towns.

Congrats on making it thru audit, Roy

Drew, I’ll bet as you get better, the time does drag. But you are also a planner, so take advantage of the opportunity.

Any solution to the RV registration?

Nice sunrise, Ron

Have you noticed a solar production fall off due to the hazy air?

Not sure I see our incidence rate posted and the number of active cases changes over time both plus and minus.
A number I would like to see, locally and nationally is the #positive vs #tested rate. I would think that rate would indicate progress or not

The first lightning right before the rain cause a 30 second power outage in the house and the Tempest weather station relies on the wifi signal. I noticed the base light was red when the power came back on and I un-pluged it and re-pluged it to reset it and the light turned green and it started recording the amount of rain. However my stuck in the ground rain gauge measured 1/2" more than the weather station, I must have missed the first 1/2 " of rain. Total 1.3" from the ground gauge and .83" recored on the Tempest weather station. Hmmmm.

Sounds like it's time to get your modem, WiFi router, and weather station on UPSs, Don.

Butte County is just tracking new cases per day, total cases, and total number tested. I suppose you could use that info to derive your measure, but they haven't gone to that yet.

It's a little hard to tell. The system only measures what the loads will take from the panels, so if there's not much load, and there's less load with the lower temperatures under the smoke, the system produces less electricity. That doesn't make sense, because it supposed to be selling any remainder to the utility, which should also qualify as a load. The dropoff, which is about 20%-30& from last week, could be due to smoke, or even to ash on the panels. I might take a look at them today and see how they're doing.

I think I found my Etherenet/network tester. It's basically an adapter for a smart phone, using the phone's screen for the interface. Does continuity tests for broken/crossed wires, but can also monitor network speed, DHCP, and even calculate the length of a cable, or to a break.

It's called a Pockethernet, and it sells for a couple hundred bux. That's less than half what Fluke gets for one that just does the continuity stuff. I'm particularly fond of the color...:laughing:

I have decided to simply wait until I get to PA and register it there. Two weeks of rule bending, but if I somehow get unlucky and get a ticket for expired registration, I think they give you 30 days to show proof. For sure it will be one of the first things I do when I'm back in PA. My insurance is obviously paid up and I have the new ID card for that.
The tag sticker says September and I hope to be leaving first week in October.

85 degrees in cloudy skies, quiet day here
